r/Parentification↗
This is a space for people who have experienced parentification to share and support one another. Parentification is a role reversal where a child takes on emotional or practical responsibilities beyond their age, often acting as a caregiver within the family. These patterns can carry into adulthood, shaping boundaries, relationships, and sense of self. This is a peer-support space, not a substitute for professional help.
